re: Whats the best gun safe to buy?

Just to add: I was recently at Cabela's looking at their line of safes. I think they are made by Cannon? Maybe Liberty. Anyway I could actually flex the door jam metal with my one hand on one of the 'higher grade' safes. Sounds like a tall tale but I am not making it up (I could see the metal move). IMO that would almost be a worthless purchase.

Better to spend money on real steel than fancy graphics and handles.

Also, a safe is just one part of a system that should include an alarm system and an insurance policy that covers the items in the safe.
